Lifetime Storage Shed Assembly 8 foot by 7.5 foot

[@krextu]

This is a great video showing each step of assembly. You explain things very well and capture the essential points of assembly. I am nearly done assembling mine, but am awaiting shipment of the two missing hinge poles for the doors. Thanks for making this video and your shed foundation video.

[@MendandMake]

Thank you. I’m glad it helped out.

[@darrelljones3690]

I wish you had recorded the building of the floor. Nice video. I will look at it as I put my shed together. Excellent information.

I have the video of the floor on my channel. Skim through it and you will see it

I love the little squares you placed at the beginning so the floor wouldn’t move. Mine moved so much when installing the walls

Yea there is spots where you can install lag bolts on the floor. I saw them at a later time lol

Thanks for the video.... I have one to build this weekend but I don't think I'm going to hand screw it all like you did! I'll set the hammer drill to a real light level.

[@MendandMake]

Yea you can do that I just didn’t want to take a chance. Plus I did mine over a few days

[@cameronalexander3701]

Hammer drill, you should work with the handscrew guy. Your hammer drill probably has drill, screw, and hammer drill feature.

[@MendandMake]

I just like to use a screw driver for plastic stuff. Always. I don’t care if it’s 700 screws to fill.

[@Jakilyn]

Thanks! We saw this in store yesterday and should have bought one..all sold out 100 miles from us now

I see this ... after I got it put together . ... I guess we both decided a wood clamp was needed there... and then I used it several times afterwards. I put it up by myself, but it sure would have been easier with 2 or 3 people.

[@MendandMake]

Wood clamps save us every time

[@GeorgeJefferson-h7w]

Dang, I can see why they charge $400 for installation now. You could build a legit shed in the same amount of time out of sturdier materials. It's nice that it's mold proof though if you live somewhere with humidity. Good vid. Hope it's working out for ya.

Only took you 3.5-4 hours to build, nice! I’ve done these many times and they take me about an hour and a half so good job!

Whats the size of the two boxes?

7 ft or so. You need a truck for it or small trailer for sure. Heavy

20 minutes a day for about 2 weeks. I’d say 4 hours

Nice! I saw this in store yesterday and was interested.. do u need to build a wood base? Was thinking of something easier like gravel.. (I think I would need a permit if I build a wood base or concrete slab)

[@MendandMake]

Gravel is fine just get it level

[@alexchandra7880]

I used gravel 3.5” thick with 4x4 pressure treated wood and 10” hand tamper, if i need to redo, i would rent plate compactor to make it super compact (now the gravel still moves when i walk inside shed) or use road base and easier to level and compacted (also cheaper) but road base will not allow water to drain

[@sam101731]

Just got this shed. How big did you make the base for shed? Great video!

If you have 3 corners snapped in place, it says you will need another set of hands to get the fourth corner in place. There is a little shifting with it but it will work.

[@jesusjesus1327]

Can’t imagine putting all those screws by hand I used an impact driver wich made it super fast and easy The foundation has to be level that way the doors wont require any adjusting
